Ok.... everybody join with me in shouting out a BIG, FAT, LOUD: "Wooooooohooooooo!"

I have a NEW COMPUTER!!! Hmmm... can you tell that I am 'slightly' excited about it!?! Oh, the joy of using the warping tool and having effects applied immediately! Oh, the happiness that comes from not having to wait 5 minutes to view the drop shadow previews! RAM is my new best friend!!!

I'm sure Kim (the ever-so-talented designer I CT for) is glad I have my new system too.... since I've pretty much been OUT OF IT lately! LOL! My old computer was giving me so many problems, I am sure Kim thought I had disappeared off the face of the planet! Hee hee! (I'm back Kim!)

For those of you who aren't aware.... Kim Broedelet releases a FANTASTIC new grab bag each month.... and her latest will be popping into her store at DSO this week! Get it NOW while it's on sale for the first week.... you always get amazing gear for a killer deal!

Here is a layout I created (in 300 ppi - without even wanting to pull out all of my hair while waiting, waiting, having the computer freeze, and more waiting, waiting....etc. etc. etc. I LOVE this new computer!) using some of the stuffies inside of her new bag. I'll post up more layouts later this week too and give you more hints as to what's inside.

I luv my girls!!!! They are sweeties! I used Kim's new Grab Bag gear, her Weathered Frames 2, and her Sew Simple kit. The great alpha is 'Alpha Carton' by Nanine. And to celebrate the fact that I no longer want to throw my computer out of the window.... here is a freebie for ya! If you like the layout above, feel free to snag it and use it for yourself.

P.S. I created this page using the beautiful color palette provided by Kim B. for her March "Color Challenge" she hosts over on DSO. Make sure to pop on over and check it out.

WHY I SCRAP

Hmmm.... come on now.... what's not to love? I love the perpetual state of learning.... you can't really ever 'know it all' in the world of digital scrapbooking. (Not that I am anywhere CLOSE.) Creating something that won't have to be 're-done' tomorrow (ie laundry, diapers, dinner etc etc etc) also has a HIGH level of appeal! LOL!

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Beth and I have been digi-scrapping since 2007 and I have loved the experience! My scrapping 'style' varies from day to day... I like trying out new techniques and my layouts change with my current interests. Other than digital scrapbooking, I am a SAHM of four young, crazy kiddos.... and they keep me very busy! I have been married for 12 years - and I'm lucky enough to be hitched to my best friend and sweetheart. I'm a sucker for ice cream and chocolate... and I love to laugh! I hope you will enjoy my designs and come back to visit me here often!
